This project will support around 100 women a year with up to 600 vital counselling sessions to help them make important life decisions and seek support they may need. 70% of all counselling sessions are due to domestic violence. Your support can help women improve their lives and the lives of their children immeasurably. This project will also provide vital financial literacy, parenting skills, gender equality and rights, and women's health workshops to poor communities in rural Cambodia.
The UN estimates that 35% of women worldwide have experienced physical and/or sexual violence by a non-partner at some point in their lives, plus 70% of women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence from an intimate partner in their lifetime. 70% of our counselling sessions support these women. In addition our workshops support women to improve all aspects of their lives.
This project will help to solve the problem by giving women a safe space to talk, a qualified counsellor to talk to, vital advice, advocacy and support. Our workshops help women understand their rights. see their equality, gain financial understanding and independence and create better lives for themselves.
Providing support, information and education to women and their families, the cycles of violence and poverty can be broken to enable brighter futures for Cambodian women and girls - enabling women's dreams to become a reality. When equipped with knowledge, women understanding their rights results in new found confidence and empowerment. This enables them to know how best to protect and look after themselves and make informed decisions about their own lives, and those of their children.
